My Stronghold Review and Giveaway

What began as a simple email inquiring about a book has turned into an eye-opening and life changing experience. The author of My Stronghold; A Pastor’s Battle with Cancer and Doubts is Joe Fornear. He is also founder of My Stronghold Ministry, a non-profit organization that uses its support system “to come alongside of cancer patients and those in crisis to help encourage and comfort them. This ministry continues on today.” Through his experience Joe is able to give strength, hope and inspiration to cancer patients all over the country. It is touching to know that someone who went through so much–gives so much of himself.

Joe will be joining us on Facebook today May 4th from 3-3:30pm (PST) to be interviewed LIVE by me!

To start I would like to say that I am so grateful to have been blessed with a healthy life, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had my share of hardships. I have also been lucky enough to not have been touched personally by death or disease. After reading Joe’s book I gained a deeper understanding about what it means to “fight” or “battle” cancer. Joe points out that we should accept the “fact that hardships are a part of life, which is only half the battle.” The other half is having the unbreakable faith, hope, and optimism to make even the grey days sunny.

I really don’t want to give away all of the good points of the book–which is the whole book! You will have three opportunities to own a copy of My Stronghold for yourself. The first is joining UV Skinz and Joe Fornear on Facebook today (May 4th) from 3-3:30pm (PST), the second is by entering the giveaway below.

Hello ~ I read your postings here. I have written a book and would be honored if you get a chance to read it and give me your thoughts . After writing it my trials became a little more complicated and I have been asked to speak on occasion as well as write a particular program for a luminary program for those touched by cancer. I have been blessed in so many ways by my own small ministry of my book. You seem to be a committed reader and honest in your thoughts. I would be able to get the opinion of some not close to me it would be helpful as my speaking and writing engagement are increasing. If it is a financial burden let me know and maybe I could send you one.
